We had a wonderfully healthy dinner tonight. Pat was busy painting the basement all day, while I ran errands. It was great to sit down and enjoy a nice dinner together. We made steak, southwestern potatoes, and balsamic brussel sprouts. It was so nice to eat a healthy meal, especially since this baby has me eating a lot of random foods these days. I got this recipe from Our Best Bites, I must say they were wonderful! I am not a brussel sprout lover by any means, but this recipe sounded tasty, so I decided to chance it. I am glad we did, they were delicious and oh so easy to make.
Recipe by Our Best Bites
1 lb. fresh Brussels sprouts
1 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, divided
3-4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling before serving
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
Rinse sprouts in cool water and then chop off the tough ends. Pull any straggly leaves off the sprouts and then chop each sprout in half. Place in a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, 1 1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and the freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle it over the chopped sprouts and then toss to combine. Spread the sprouts out evenly over the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are tender-crisp.
Remove from oven, transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with the reserved tablespoon of vinegar, and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
